Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were chemically functionalized by using sulfuric acid and nitric acid. The functionalization was done with two different acid ratio. The functionalized nanotubes were characterized with Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, X-Ray Photon Spectroscopy, Thermal Gravimetric Analysis, Elemental Analysis, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and Transmission Electron Microscopy. Sulfonation of carbon nanotubes (CN) increased the electrical conductivity of carbon nanotubes up to 1.25 x 10-1 S/cm. The SEM micrographs of the samples showed that CN was observed in more bulky form due to the increasing hyrogen bonding between the particles. The zeta potential of the CN increased with increasing sulfonation amount.

Active carbon/graphene hydrogel nanocomposites as a symmetric device for supercapacitors ATEŞ, MURAT; Cinar, Damla; Caliskan, Sinan; GEÇGEL, ÜNAL; ÜNER, OSMAN; BAYRAK, YÜKSEL; Candan, Idris (Informa UK Limited, 2016-01-01) Activated carbons (ACs) are successfully synthesized from Elaeagnus grain by a simple chemical synthesis methodology and demonstrated as novel, suitable supercapacitor electrode materials for graphene hydrogel (GH)/AC nanocomposites. GH/AC nanocomposites are synthesized via hydrothermal process at temperature of 180 degrees C. The low-temperature thermal exfoliation approach is convenient for mass production of graphene hydrogel (GH) at low cost and it can be used as electrode material for energy storage ap...
Structural properties of carbon nanogears Tasci, Emre; Malcıoğlu, Osman Barış; Erkoc, Sakir (Informa UK Limited, 2008-01-01) Structural stabilities of different types of carbon nanogears have been tested against temperature by means of a molecular dynamics procedure. Effects of periodic boundary conditions were also examined. It has been found that although the two types of nanogears (armchair and zigzag CNT yielding) investigated look similar in configuration, when tested against high temperatures, bond breakings and deformations occur at different regions.
Poly(ethylene terephthalate)/Carbon Nanotube Composites Prepared With Chemically Treated Carbon Nanotubes Yesil, Sertan; Bayram, Göknur (Wiley, 2011-07-01) Surfaces of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (CNT) were functionalized by treatment with strong acid mixture (purification) followed by modification with sodium dodecyl sulfate, poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), and diglycidyl ether of Bisphenol A (DGEBA). Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET)-based conductive polymer composites were prepared by using these CNT by means of melt mixing with a twin screw extruder. Amount of carboxylic acid groups on the CNT surface increased after acid treatment but decreased with surfac...
Functionalization of oxabenzonorbornadiene: Manganese(III)-mediated oxidative addition of dimedone ÇALIŞKAN, Raşit; Sari, Ozlem; Balcı, Metin (Wiley, 2017-09-01) 3-Chloro-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1,4-epoxynaphthalen-2-yl)-3-hydroxy-5,5-dimethylcy-clohex- 2-en-1-one, synthesized by the reaction of oxabenzonorbornadiene with Mn(OAc)(3) and dimedone in the presence of HCl in acetic acid, was submitted to ring-opening reactions with BBr3 and H2SO4. Reaction with BBr3 yielded 2 products, a 5-membered ring and an 8-membered ring, with the former being the major product. However, the H2SO4-supported reaction exclusively formed an 8-membered ring. The mechanism of formation of th...
Study of the Influence of Transition Metal Atoms on Electronic and Magnetic Properties of Graphyne Nanotubes Using Density Functional Theory Alaei, Sholeh; Jalili, Seifollah; Erkoç, Şakir (Informa UK Limited, 2015-01-01) Density functional theory calculations were used to study the adsorption of three transition metal atoms (Fe, Co, and Ni) on the external surface of two zigzag and two armchair graphyne nanotubes. The most stable position for the adsorption of all three metal atoms on all nanotubes is on the acetylenic ring. The metal atom remains in the plane of the acetylenic ring and makes six bonds with neighboring carbon atoms. Fe and Co complexes are magnetic and show different properties such as metal, semimetal, hal...
